Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the epidemiology of infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) subtype 3b (a rare subtype thought to have originated in Southeast Asia) in Japan, we examined the genotypic subtype in 1397 patients with HCV-related chronic liver diseases. Of 1330 patients with identified HCV RNA genotypes. 960 had subtype 1b, 243 had subtype 2a, 97 had subtype 2b, 14 (1.1%) had subtype 3b, and 16 had other types of HCV or...
